Program accomplishments

  • Business in 2024 finally started to pick up since the covid years. While still down compared to years prior to 2022, business is picking back up across the industry.We expanded further into Florida and ran two GNBV college recruiting showcases in what used to be a competitors territory. After the second event they raised permit prices by 300%. We have adjusted our plans for the years to come and will still be at that location just with fewer courts to make sure we can continue to support players in that region.Regular tournaments are starting to happen again, finally, after losing many players due to covid. Attendance is still not what we had pre-covid, but the industry is coming back and with all the recruits our college recruiting showcases are producing, we now have measurable growth again.Regular tournaments are starting to happen again, finally, after losing many players sue to covid.
